The Durham Blues and Brews Festival has been a major fundraising effort of the Exchange Club of Greater Durham, a service-oriented civic club. From 2015 through 2024, we hosted a unique music festival experience that served only NC craft beer with proceeds benefiting local charities and programs. The primary focus of organizations receiving our funds is the prevention of child abuse. Over 8 years of festivals (with a pandemic break), we contributed over $200,000 to local Durham charities and programs.
